Why is the U.N. about to impose regulations on the Internet?

Wasssssup! In one month U.N. regulations hammered-out in Dubai will take effect. Can we expect blue-helmeted, jack booted brown shirts to slowly cruise our neighborhoods in Land Rovers festooned with myriad antennas? Hmmm.

    Nov 2 2012: The government wants to control the internet so that people don't expose their secrets. So that sites like wikileaks don't spring up. So that people can't criticize them. They want to kill the democratic nature of the net and we need to stop them.
